with a cool engine.

1. Spray FOAMY GUNK ENGINE BRITE all over the engine. Allow to sit for 15 minutes.
2. Rinse the engine completely.
3. Spray entire engine with FOAMY ARMOR ALL (IMPORTANT! it has to be the FOAMY kind, or you can catch your engine compartment on fire).
4. Start the car and close the hood for 20 (with engine running).
5. Open the hood and

I didn't think it would work either but my engine bay looks new now. It makes the valve cover nice and clean with the deep rich red. I plan on doing this twice a year.

I actually went out and I have a new sheet on my car now. Thanks. It's really not that hard to cut it out, just time consuming.

I'd like to try this but need clarification on the armor all. Is it this?: Tire Foam

If not, tell me what I should be using so I can give this a try.

Thanks.
